Become a Member
Professional members receive all benefits and resources, can vote and run for office, and are eligible to be Accredited in Public Relations (APR).
Additional individual members from the same district/organization receive a $15 savings!
Individuals working in educational PR in a for-profit role may join as professional partners. They receive full benefits and can apply to become a candidate for Accreditation. Professional partners are not eligible to vote or hold office.
Associate members receive benefits and resources similar to professional members but are not eligible to vote, run for office, or apply to become a candidate for APR accreditation.
*A School District Subscription service is offered for one (1) employee of a district at both the professional and associate levels that has policies prohibiting individual association memberships. It is NOT a multi-person membership. The subscription offers the same benefits as a professional membership to a single person; it is not a group or multi-person membership.
Ready to strengthen your communication strategy? Want support, training and a network that understands the reality of school communication? Unlock it all with NSPRA membership.
"If you are working in school communications or school public relations, you need to join NSPRA. You're not going to find a better community or better resources for school communicators. It’s evident that the organization's leadership, board, staff and all of its volunteers all make it their priority to elevate our profession because what we do is important work."
"There is so much work happening and I think school communications has never been more critical for success for a school district. NSPRA has given me the opportunity to connect with others from across the country and really learn from best practices."
